The illustration on page 8 implies Jesus went from 'door to door". There is no evidence of this, but the illustration caption is worded in such a way to impy otherwise. Typical.

Who is AGBM?
by african GB Member inthe purpose of this thread is to tell everyone on this board who i am and why i am so different.. first of all, i have already apologised on another thread for posting zero drivel topics here.. i am a 29 year old male, born-in, baptised in 1998, df'd in 2003 for fornication, reinstated in 2008. i want to make it clear that i have never been a ms. after my reinstatement i continued to attend meetings with the same cong.
but moved to another cong.
earlier this year, reason being, the continued shunning by some hardcore self-righteous publishers.. i am still with the same cong until now, i go to meetings regularly, including taking part as well as giving bible reading talks.

We should take it at face value. To a JW the difference between right and wrong is essentially what they can get away with. AGBM I hope your coming clean is the first step in breaking and fading and seeing what is right and wrong. Keep being honest with everyone - you never have to cover your tracks that way. At least here you will find that majority are genuinely interested in each other and take everyone as they come.

holding hands in prayer thing
by bez in... is this "no holding hands in prayers" law really true???
i have not heard of this before?
when did this happen?

Simon Morley
Yeah, we had a family that did the whole huggy thing, nobody wanted to sit next to them or you would get linked. funnily enogh, this uber-self-righteous family had a vaery hard time with this. it was great to make make comments (when the opporttunity came up) to state that those who are failthful in least are faithful in much, blah, blah, recent direction on not having group hugging, bla, blah, stumble people, blah, blah.....
The picture in the study version struck me as very odd and somewhat troubling.

Oh well, it was inevitable for you at least. I never saw what your day job was, but I suspect you work with this guy below.

Elder( He does'nt know I was reprooved) from another Cong. invited me to give a Public Talk,...Please advice!!!
by african GB Member inhe invited me about 4 weeks ago, to be a guest speaker in his cong.. should i go ahead?.
should i tell him about my situation?.
what's the worst that could happen if my cong finds out about this?.

Simon Morley
Go and give the talk and when they invite you to give the closing prayer mention how much you appreciate your body of elders for having mercy and only reproving you for your recent serious sin. Then mention that in time you hope to have all your priveledges restored.
Then oopen your eyes to see what the reaction is like.

Netherlands Memorial Attendance 2009/2010
by Designer Stubble ingood news!.
the dutch kingdom ministry shows the following statement:.
this year (2010) 43.372 persons attended the memorial, 100 persons took of the symbols.. the 2009 attendance figure was 51.578.. this means that 8.206 went missing in one single year, a plunge of 16%.. i get the impression that the partakes figure is going up as they now avoid the term "annointed".. .

Regardless of numbers the GB will spin it in the usual fashion:
Increase = Blessing from Jehovah
Decrease = Sifting by Jehovah

Another thread to my story

a few years back, i met a girl while at the local community college.

MRFREEZE: Don't beat yourself up. Just think that in some way you stalled her exit from this world and for a few brief moments you brought some joy to her troubled life. Cherish them - they are special.
